White Teachers/Diverse Classrooms: A Guide to Building Inclusive Schools, Promoting High
Expectations, and Eliminating Racism
by: Julie Landsman and Chance W. Lewis ($24.95)
For African Americans, school is often not a place to learn but a place of low expectations and failure. In urban schools with
concentrations of poverty, often fewer than half the ninth graders leave with a high school diploma. Black and White teachers here
provide an insightful approach to inclusive and equitable teaching and illustrate its transformative power to bring about success.
This book encourages reflection and self-examination, calls for understanding how students can achieve and expecting the most
from them. It demonstrates what’s involved in terms of recognizing often-unconscious biases, confronting institutional racism where
it occurs, surmounting stereotyping, adopting culturally relevant teaching, connecting with parents and the community, and
integrating diversity in all activities. This book is replete with examples of practice and telling insights that will engage teachers in
practice or in service. It should have a place in every classroom in colleges of education. Its empowering message applies not just
to teachers of Black students, but illuminates teaching in every racially diverse setting.
